To the Home Country
Most Muslims do Zakat directly to the home country, whether it is in some amount of money or items/products, to those in need that close to their home or to the local mosque.
Mosque
Some mosques in Japan collect Zakat al-Fitr which usually costs 1,500 yen per person. Muslims who willing to do Zakat to the mosque can easily transfer the amount to the designated bank account. In the case of the Tokyo Camii Mosque, the zakat will be used for the education of students at Imam Hatip School in Turkey and to help students outside of Japan (mainly Cambodia) who need financial assistance.
